For extra flaky biscuits, try grating the cold butter into the flour mixture instead of cutting it in. Chilling the buttermilk and using cold butter is crucial for preventing the butter from melting before baking, resulting in a flakier biscuit. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten, which can lead to tough biscuits. Mix just until the ingredients come together. For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the baked biscuits with melted butter.
